Chapter 245 Comments on Three Heroes

Originally we were eating roasted hare, and everyone enjoyed it.

But the episode started and the atmosphere changed.

We made an appointment with Li Mengxi. If we make any mistakes in the future, we will point them out immediately.

Liu Bei was extremely agitated.

He rubbed his palms, the smile never leaving his face. He looked at Li Mengxi frequently and laughed.

Li Mengxi felt uncomfortable looking at him.

Now, I couldn’t enjoy eating rabbit meat anymore.

Li Mengxi had no choice but to give the meat in his hand to his younger brother.

Li Mengxi wanted to ask Liu Bei, why are you staring at me, and what do you have to say?

In this way, Li Mengxi was embarrassed for a long time.

Liu Bei finally looked over again with a bright smile. He pointed at Guan Yu and said with a smile, "Xi'er, could you please come and take a look and tell me how about my three brothers?"

Liu Bei said he would like to use Li Mengxi as a mirror for others.

I got this new mirror and I can’t wait to “use” it.

Li Mengxi was surprised and looked at Guan Yu and then at Liu Bei.

Guan Yu stroked his beard, smiled, and nodded slightly, "Haha! Xi'er, I want to see how your vision is and whether it can really be as clear as a torch. Just talk about the shortcomings of the three of us. Come on, but it doesn't matter."

Oh, did Liu Bei and Guan Yu mean to expose the shortcomings of the three brothers?

It's easy to offend people, okay?

Li Mengxi scratched his head in embarrassment.

However, just say it, don’t be afraid.

So, Li Mengxi sternly hugged Guan Yu and Liu Bei across the bonfire, "Then I'll be bold and say something."

"Let's talk about General Guan first.

General Guan is extremely brave, and coupled with his profound knowledge of military strategy, he can be called a general."

While speaking, Li Mengxi carefully observed Guan Yu's expression, and saw that Guan Yu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, listening seriously. When he mentioned that Guan Yu was a talented general, Li Mengxi saw that Guan Yu had a slight smile on his face.

Obviously, Guan Yu was proud of what he said.

Li Mengxi then continued to forget to say."

"General Guan is known for his majesty, and his soldiers respect him and are willing to obey his orders."

"As for the shortcomings..." Li Mengxi frowned slightly and paused, "I can't see it yet."

Li Mengxi spread his hands and smiled.

Seeing Li Mengxi like this, Guan Yu and Liu Bei looked at each other and laughed.

"You, you, you are so dishonest!" Guan Yu pointed at Li Mengxi and scolded him with a smile, "My eldest brother just praised you as a mirror of humanity, but soon after saying this, Xi'er, you stopped talking.

No one is perfect, does Guan really have no shortcomings at all? If you have anything to say, just say it! Do you still think that Guan is an outsider?" Guan Yu pretended to be angry, raised his face, and tried to scare Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi knew that Guan Yu was pretending to be angry, and Li Mengxi also pretended not to notice.

Li Mengxi looked serious and saluted Guan Yu with cupped fists, "General, it's clear, I won't be pretentious anymore."

"I dare to let the general know. If the general is not enough, he really is."

"First, although generals are knowledgeable in military strategies, they do not value craftsmen.

When an army marches, craftsmen are indispensable.

Craftsmen are needed to build siege engines, craftsmen are also needed to repair weapons, and craftsmen are also needed to maintain vehicles.

But I actually took charge of everything in the Craftsman Camp.

If a general or an army commander cannot make good use of his craftsmanship, he will not be able to fully understand the intricacies of offensive and defensive equipment, and he will not be able to fully understand the key points of ships, bridges, and cables.

If you don't know how to use craftsmen, you will have insufficient generals.

This is one of them."

After speaking, Li Mengxi stopped.

Across from the bonfire, Guan Yu frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

After a long time, Guan Yu raised his head with a solemn look on his face. He bowed his hands to Li Mengxi and said, "That's true. If you can't use craftsmanship, this is not enough!"

"Thank you Xi'er for pointing it out. In the future, Guan will work on it himself to make up for this shortcoming."

Li Mengxi smiled and nodded.

"As for the general's second shortcoming.

It's about medicine.

May I ask the general, if an epidemic breaks out in the army, does the general know how to prevent and treat the epidemic?"

This question stopped Guan Yu.

Guan Yu hesitated, "This...can I ask the medical officer?"

Li Mengxi smiled and said, "You can also ask the medical officer. But if by any chance, the medical officer is not here, wouldn't the general be helpless?

A general does not need to seriously study medical skills, but he should have some understanding of the methods of preventing and treating epidemics.

Tian Bu, the medical officer of our army, has superb medical skills. Generals can go there and ask for advice, and they will surely gain a lot."

Li Mengxi sincerely suggested.

Guan Yu claimed to have been taught.

Gone.

Guan Yu's shortcomings are, first, a common problem among people in this era, which is that they do not pay attention to technology and craftsmen.

The second is that they don’t attach much importance to medical knowledge. In fact, the second point is that they still don’t attach much importance to craftsmen. Doctors also belong to the ranks of craftsmen.

Don’t you see, Hua Tuo is a famous doctor in the world. If Cao Cao says to kill him, he will be killed.

Because, in the context of the times, doctors and craftsmen have the same status, but they are not much higher.

He would be very cautious when killing a scholar, but he would kill a craftsman casually.

Speaking of Guan Yu, of course there are other shortcomings of Guan Yu.

For example, history says that Guan Yu was proud of his superiors but did not bully his subordinates.

Don't bully others, this is an advantage.

Being arrogant is a shortcoming.

However, Li Mengxi and Guan Yu have been together for so long, but they haven't seen anything arrogant about Guan Yu? Well, Guan Yu's boss is his elder brother Liu Bei. He and Liu Bei are as arrogant as each other, so naturally they won't be arrogant.

Furthermore, if we say that the position of military advisor is higher than that of generals. If Guan Yu had been in charge, Li Mengxi, as military advisor, would have been in charge of Guan Yugang long ago, but there was no conflict between them.

I think it's because of Li Mengxi's special status.

Although Li Mengxi was a military advisor, he was only half a military advisor. When making suggestions, everyone mostly discussed them together. Li Mengxi was not considered to be a high-ranking official at all.

Besides, Li Mengxi is still a child.

Can Guan Yu be so arrogant in front of a child? Obviously not so, Guan Yu is not so small-minded.

That is to say, when Liu Bei's army devoured the powerful grain in the city in Zhuozhou City, and Guan Yu led his troops to threaten the county government, Guan Yu was so murderous that he seemed to dare to kill the county magistrate if an arrow flew down from the city.

This may reveal some of Guan Yu Aoshang's true character.

After talking about Guan Yu.

Li Mengxi then talked about Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide who were not here.

Why don't we talk about Liu Bei who is close at hand, but Zhang Fei who is far away?

This is because, as soon as Li Mengxi thought about it, he could think of Zhang Fei's shortcomings and Liu Bei's shortcomings. He didn't think of it for a while.

Definitely, let’s pick the easy one first.

"Let's talk about General Zhang Fei. The three generals are as fierce as fire, and their bravery is astonishing. They are talented generals.

However, the three generals did not care about the soldiers and beat and scolded them at every turn. I saw several times that the three generals beat the soldiers severely for minor mistakes and treated them as harshly as slaves.

Someone is deeply worried.

Moreover, the three generals are addicted to alcohol and drink to an excessive extent, which will definitely cause things to go wrong. I am afraid that they cannot entrust each other with heavy responsibilities, otherwise, sooner or later, it will lead to a big mistake."

Li Mengxi spoke concisely and to the point, and pointed out Zhang Fei's shortcomings.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu thought so.

Needless to say, Li Mengxi also knew that Liu Bei and Guan Yu knew very well about Zhang Fei. Indeed, the third brother usually criticized his subordinates too harshly. It was not that the two of them had never said anything about him, but Zhang Fei would not listen to him after they said it many times.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei smiled and said to Li Mengxi, "Xi'er, Yide has a stubborn temper and cannot listen to advice. My second brother and I have repeatedly warned him, but he has not changed."

"Xi'er, I'll help you with this."
